We have been having so much fun learning about the Rainforest and Jungle. My favorite memory from school was walking into the decorated room with exciting craft tables and activities. I am so happy to get to recreate that feeling for my children.

Students listen to “The Great Kapoke Tree: A tale of the Amazon Rain Forest” to learn the names of animals and people that are found in the Amazon Rain Forest. Then we use GarageBand to create a Rain Forest of our own with sounds that we heard in the story.

Virtual Escape rooms  challenge critical thinking and encourages problem solving. Kids can either work in groups or individually to  try to escape the rainforest using clues from information we went over in class.

As I am writing this, many schools are closed are having students learn at a distance. Remote teaching can be challenging even if you do have the equipment and so do your students. One idea I decided to learn more about was making Digital Escape Rooms using Google Forms. Try this free escape room on owls.

Digital escape rooms give students a chance to read informational text on science literacy topics and solve the puzzles to escape. Digital escape rooms motivate the students to read the high-interest passages and read back into the text so that they can answer the questions correctly. The questions are given in advance which helps students to think about the questions before they read the text passages.

This is such a fun No Prep way to engage your students! #distancelearning

You can start by having a google form that the students are sent a link to access.

Students sign in and click on the first break out code.

This code will ask them if they want to make a copy. They do!

The copy makes their answers separate from other students and keeps other students from seeing their answers.

When the copy opens up they will see a google slide show.
Students love the drag and drop activities!
Students solve five different codes, each with different activities. The nonsense codes are put in the google form so that students can escape!

Students will be told Try Again! (or something like that if they have an incorrect code)

There may be four to ten breakouts in order to escape. After the students solve one breakout code, they can click on the next link which will ask them to make another copy (say yes!)

This will take them to another google slide show with more information and a new code to crack.

When all the codes have been cracked and correctly inserted in the google form, students will be told, "Congratulations, you escaped!"

Students can work on these independently. The teacher can use it in google classroom or simply send the link to the students. A sheet of directions is included to send the students with the link to the escape room.

This is a great activity for distance education!

. These are no-prep for the teacher.

This resource is a digital Escape Room on tropical rainforests . It can be used for Distance Learning! Students will read informational text on tropical rainforests. Students will love learning about all the biodiversity in the unique habitat of the rainforest. This resource is online and self-checking. Students won't be able to escape the room unless they have the correct answers. Incorrect codes are prompted to Try again! Really no prep for teachers! Just share the link. Great for remote learning. This is an online interactive activity. It works great with google classroom, but can also be shared with just a link.

Special Thanks to Robin Behringer

She has several great Escape Rooms and other digital products in her store.

Want to make your own Escape Rooms? I highly recommend these templates from Mrs. B's Brainy Bunch.
